The Radici Group has three production and processing sites in Italy and Switzerland. Its polyester yarn volume has been growing. It closed year 2013 with a greater market share in many of its target polyester market sectors. Outstanding results were achieved in the outdoor furnishings, technical/industrial and automotive segments.
Outdoor furnishings (fabric for Tensil structures, solar protection, and garden furnishings) was one of the markets successfully targeted by Radici’s Pet Yarn. From 2011 to 2013, its polyester yarn, notably the Radyarn UV stabilized line, registered a sales volume increase of 60 per cent.
Good results were also achieved by the Radyarn FR flame retardant yarn. These items meld flame retardant properties with custom tailoring options and cost efficiency. For these products, the company has specialists who provide customers with full technical support, from yarn design to fabric design, processing, and testing and certification procedures. In FR target markets, which include furnishings, contract and public transport, during the last three years the company’s volumes have grown by 60 per cent.
The company plans to include new multi-functional products, yarns endowed with a combination of properties achieved through special additives. For example, for the indoor furnishings segment, Radici Pet Yarn, in collaboration with an important customer, is developing a solution-dyed 100 per cent bio-degradable yarn featuring UV screening and excellent flame retardant properties.
